Key Review Excerpts
“The Administrator was so welcoming and even came out of her office to meet with us when we arrived. The residents were welcoming and immediately invited my grandmother to join in the activities program.”
“The Darcy Hall experience has been overall remarkable. Everyone is friendly and responsive. The PT team and the nurses really take the time to understand and work with each patient.”
“Every month they are changing the balance due higher and higher with no explanation why the statements are sent to you with the wrong amounts.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
